Chatter about a successor to Schultz started to pick up once Troy Alstead, who Johnson is replacing, announced earlier this month that he was taking a leave of absence.
Alstead is a 23-year veteran of the company and many felt he could one day take over for Schultz.
When Schultz left the company in 2000, the company suffered for several years until he returned in 2008. So it’s important for the company to have the right person in place to succeed Schultz once he retires for good.
